The position includes building and managing telephone support for Android and Nexus One customers, according to the job posting. It’s not clear if Google will be handling the operation entirely internally or if it will partner with an outsourced call-center operation.

Google spokeswoman Katie Watson declined to answer questions about the company’s plans. However, she said Google is prepared to make changes in response to customer needs.

“We continue to address all issues in as timely of a manner as possible, and we're flexible and prepared to make changes to our processes and tools, as necessary, for an optimal customer support experience,” she wrote in an e-mail.

Many contacted T-Mobile only to be referred to HTC, which often directed customers back to T-Mobile. Google accepts only e-mail queries, in addition to its online help forum, to which it responds in one or two days.

While it appears that Google was unprepared initially to support phone customers, it has begun to be more responsive on the help forums. On Tuesday it pushed out a Nexus One software update to fix a problem that some people had with connecting to 3G networks.

The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.

My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
